I can can confidently say that the questions in GMAT were very much difficulty than those in official practice test.

Don’t worry. Just relax. Take free mocks of both classic and Focus version and then decide accordingly which test suites you the best.

I think bringing GMAC’s attention to this is our best bet. Do you think there is some other way we can explore?

While we may not be able to change the situation, an explanation from the test maker about the issue would help ease our disappointment after investing time and resources in the Classic test. This way, we can share our experience and recommend others to take the Focus test to avoid similar issues.

Anyway, if you have deadlines to submit your application soon, prioritize it first.

If x>y>z then which of the following could be true? 1. x/y>y/z 2. z/x>y/x 3.z/y>x/y

How to solve such questions without putting values

How can you draw this conclusion?

What would the GMAC gain by amplifying the difficulty of the classic version a month before it goes away

Hi all, I scored 550 on my gmat 1st attempt after 2 months of dedicated prep. Score was Q39, V27, IR-5 and AWA-5. I am from commerce and economics background, currently working as Tax Consultant in big 4 with 5+ years of experience. I want to retake the exam and looking for some suggestions here. I am confused between gmat FE and GRE. Actual gmat exam was pretty tough compared to mocks. I’ll have to switch the entire prep bcoz of DI if I go for GMAT FE. Not sure but I have heard GRE is somewhat easier than GMAT. Will really appreciate any ideas/help.

I think this pattern is an abberation from the standardization it folllows. Probably because now different faculties handling classic one. My advice is, let the GMAC do the talking. Let us not anticipate their replies

Probably push more test takers to opt for GFE since GMAC doesn’t want to spend any further on the R&D of question bank for the classic one?
